Highlander (1992) s04e03 Episode Script

Mikey, it's you.
Hey, you found your train.
Can I help? Absolutely.
You think you can help me with my tools? Yes, I can.
Be easier if you put the train down first, Mikey.
First steam locomotive bought by Richard Trevithick in 1804 for Penydarren Ironworks in Wales, carried 25 tons.
You don't say? Here, I-I'll get that.
No, I can do it.
All aboard.
Whoo! Whoo! Lunch.
How's your helper doing? He's taking a load of machinery into town.
Carried 25 tons.
Then you must be pretty hungry.
Something wrong, Mikey? Alan? Is it an Immortal? Mikey, go with Helen.
No, Mikey can help.
Not with this.
Stupid rules.
Helen, take him to the bus and keep him down.
I don't want him to see this.
Let's go, Mikey.
Hurry.
I'm not a kid.
Mikey, listen to me.
This is important.
Okay? Now go to the bus and keep quiet.
Go.
Go.
Come on, Mikey.
Shh.
Alan said be quiet.
In there.
No.
I don't wanna go.
I wanna stay.
Get in, Mikey.
No, I don't like it in there.

Mikey, get in! Get down.
Come on.
That's it.
No.
Alan needs me.
No, Mikey! Shh-shh.
Helen, quiet.
Quiet.
Alan! No, no, no.
Oh, my God! Shh.
Helen.
Helen? He is Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander.
Born in 1592, in the Highlands of Scotland, and he is still alive.
He is immortal.
For 400 years, he's been a warrior, a lover, a wanderer, constantly facing other Immortals in combat to the death.
The winner takes his enemy's head and with it, his power.
I am a Watcher, part of a secret society of men and women who observe and record, but never interfere.
We know the truth about Immortals.
In the end, there can be only one.
May it be Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander.

You, uh-- You from around here? Are you lost? Where's your home? Nobody's home.
I'm headed that way.
Up the coast.
Coast Starlight passes through Is that a fact? Fact: Amtrak founded 1971.
You wanna come with me? All right.
Well, come on.
All aboard.
All aboard.
Um, my name's Mikey.

Great.

Thanks.
Hi.
Hey.
So what do you think? It's a wreck.
It's an expensive wreck.
Yeah, exactly.
I just bought it.
Hi.
Hi.
Mac, say hello to Mikey.
Hi, Mikey.
I'm Duncan.
Duncan, Oklahoma.
On Wichita-Fort Worth line between Chickasaw and Red River Bridge.
I'm very glad to know that.
Mikey, Mac's my best friend.
Best Friend of Charleston.
Christmas Day, 1830.
South Carolina, First scheduled train in the United States.
Where'd you find him? About 20 miles south of Greenville.
He was wandering in the middle of nowhere.
Uh, Mikey, that's uh-- Be careful with that, Mikey, that's uh-- Uh, sorry.
Sorry.
That's okay.
That's okay.
Mikey, why don't we go outside or something? Take a walk? Walk-Walk is good.
He was in the middle of nowhere, Mac.
I couldn't just leave him.
When you find somebody who's helpless, you gotta protect him, right? Stand still, you worthless bastard.
I own your sorry ass.
Now I got ya! Boy, I got to teach you so you won't be running away again.
I think you made your point.
You wanna stay healthy, mister, you best ride on.
- Sorry, can't do that.
- This Indian is bought and paid for.
Where I come from you don't come between a man and his property.
- Guess we come from different places.
It's your hide.
Son of a bitch.
- Damn you.
- A smart man would ride out right now.
I'll see you again both of you! Fine.
You will not forget this.
I hope not.
My name's MacLeod.
Chaske.
Let me have a look at your back.
There's a doctor in the next town.
Come on.
No.
White man will have no medicine for me.
I will be fine.
Sure you will.
Come on.
Come on.
Broken.
Want me to fix it for you? Let's see.
Well-- So where did you live before, Mikey? In a house.
Argentina has 21,000 miles of railroad track.
Yeah, but where? In a room.
Mexico: 16,000 miles of track.
Were there other people in the house? Nobody's home.
Brazil: 18,000 miles.
Chile: Five thousand miles.
It's okay, Mikey.
It's all right.
It's okay.
There you go.
All fixed.
Oh.
Here.
Thank you.
Look how happy you made him.
So what do you think? Someone had to be taking care of him.
That's obvious.
Do you think it was an Immortal? We may never know.
Hey, what the-- You idiot! What's the matter with you? Don't yell at me.
I don't like it when people yell at me! It's okay, Mikey.
We'll take care of it.
We'll take care of it.
What's the matter with him? He's fine.
Don't worry about this, sir.
We'll put all the bottles back.
We'll have it all taken care of for you.
Right away.
Orient-Express.
Paris, Istanbul.
Istanbul, Paris.
Most famous train in the whole world.
Where is he? King of trains.
Train of kings.
Orient-Express.
You like trains? Fantastic.
I know a place where you can ride a train all day long.
Come on.
Where do you think you're going? King of trains.
Orient-Express.
Salzburg, Vienna, London.
What are you doing on that? Budapest.
Hey! What are you, crazy? Mikey! Richie! Richie! Orient-Express! Get him off my train! It's all right.
We'll handle it.
Come on, Mikey.
Get down from there.
Come on.
Come on.
Let's go.
He could've broken it.
But he didn't, did he? A lunatic like that should be locked up.
Well, he won't bother you anymore.
It's not even the real Orient-Express.
Mikey, let's go.
No! No! Mikey, it's all right.
No, no.
They're only playing a game.
It's okay.
You okay.
Okay? It's all right.
It's all right.
They're playing a game.
No one's hurt.
It's a game.
Here's your train.
It's okay.
You all right? Just a game.
Friendly game.
Go upstairs.
You all right? I don't know.
I don't know what to do with him.
We're gonna have to find somewhere where he's not gonna get in trouble.
I know, I know.
I just keep asking myself why we met up on that road.
You know, why at that exact moment he was there.
Mac, it's like, maybe it happened for a reason.
You think you're supposed to take care of him? Maybe.
Hi, Richie.
Hi, Mikey.
I mean, look at him, Mac.
Look.
He doesn't have a mean bone in his body.
Yeah, but Richie, he's not a puppy.
He's a man and he's an Immortal.
What do you think would've happened if we hadn't been there? But we were.
We won't always be.
Are you ready to dedicate your life to him? Twenty-four hours a day, every day, forever.
That's what it's gonna take.
- So what do you wanna do, lock him up? -No.
I want him safe.
All right.
I'm gonna go talk to a couple social workers I know.
Good idea.
Hey, Mikey.
Hey.
Listen, uh, I'm gonna go out for a while.
I got some things to do.
But, you can help Mac look after the place? I'm a good helper.
I know you are.
I'll see you later.
Want some milk, Mikey? Two Silver trains through Carolina.
Well, that's interesting.
Where exactly was it that you came from? Do you know? Silver Meteor and Silver Star.
Mikey, come on.
Talk to me.
Split at Selma, uh, share same route again after Savannah.
What happened, Mikey? Mikey's fault.
Always Mikey's fault.
It's all right.
Mikey, you stay here.
It's gonna be all right.
It'll be all right.
Well, well, what have we here? We have Duncan MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod.
Fantastic.
Tyler King.
Now you give him to me, and you'll live for another day, Duncan.
Sorry, Tyler.
Do yourself a favor, beat it.
I'm not here for you.
Well, if you're here for him, then you are here for me.
Right.
Have you talked to him? He's lunch meat.
He's barely a blip on the E.
E.
G.
He thinks.
He feels.
He's got as much right to life as even you do.
What life? He's gonna get whacked soon enough.
Why not by me? Because I say so.
Sorry, I missed that.
No! No, stop! No, stop! Mikey, go! Get out of here! Mikey? Trains.
Train of kings.
Train of kings.
Get away from me.
Train.
Track 29.
Union Station.
All aboard! - All aboard! All aboard! All aboard! All aboard! You all right? Come on.
Man, you all right? You hurt me! This guy's crazy.
Hurry up! They-- They hate me.
We're not here to make friends.
As soon as you're patched up we'll be on our way.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Could you direct me to the doctor's office? Thank you kindly.
I'm sorry, but, uh, you can't bring him in here.
You took an oath, didn't you? You're just asking for trouble, mister.
Indian wars left a lot of bad feelings in these parts.
Doc, if you know what's good for you, you'll leave him alone.
You best leave him alone.
Half the town lost friends or relatives to the Cheyenne.
I'm sorry to hear that.
But I'm not Cheyenne.
What the hell is going on here, Doc? We got an injured man here.
- Come with me.
- I'll keep an eye on things outside.
What are you doing there, Doc? - How you folks doin'? Hey, mister.
What do you think you're doing here? How could they do this, Mac? He's not a criminal.
They didn't have to throw him in jail.
That's what cops usually do when someone assaults them.
Couldn't they see he was different? It's hard to be objective when someone's attacking you.
If King hadn't shown up it never would have happened.
Then something else would have.
Mac, whose side are you on anyway? I'm not on anybody's side.
This isn't about whether I like Mikey, or whether he's gentle, or-or whether he has a good soul.
It's about the reality of his life.
The guy doesn't have a life.
Don't you think he deserves one? Of course I do.
Then we have to figure out a way to give it to him.
Just like that? Just like that.
We can make it work.
Richie, we're Immortals.
We're not gods.
Which means? It means we can't give him a life he doesn't have no matter how much we want to.
That's not fair.
I know it's not.
You think it's all random? Who's gonna be beautiful? Who's gonna be smart? Who's gonna be like Einstein and who's gonna be like Mikey? It depends what century you're asking me about, Richie.
Right now I think there's some sort of plan going on.
I just don't know what it is.
How old do you think he is? I don't know.
And I don't think he does either.
Sometimes I look at him, Mac, and I see something more though.
I really believe a part of him knows what he is.
Maybe he does, but that doesn't change anything.
Let's just get him out of there.
And then what? I don't know.
I'm working on it.
I hope so.
Mikey? Trans-Siberian Express.
Six thousand miles long.
Mikey, it's me, Duncan.
Moscow to Vladivostok.
Track completed, 1916.
Talk to him, Richie.
Bring 'im out here.
You're finished in this town.
Indian, come out here.
There he is.
Come on out, boy.
Come out here.
Come on.
What are y'all waiting for? Hmm? Let's kick this Indian's red ass out of town.
Why? What do you mean "why"? Well, what exactly about him don't you like? His hair? Or maybe his clothes.
- You makin' fun of me, mister? - Someone should.
You're asking for trouble, mister.
No, excuse me.
I don't think I asked for that at all as I remember.
Afternoon.
There some kind of problem here? No, no problem.
I just brought a friend in to have his wounds seen to.
- He's a damn Injun.
- Is that right? You coulda picked a friendlier town.
Get my gun.
- So I hear.
You know he should die.
He with the doc? Yeah.
Soon as he's fit to ride, we'll move on.
Stop there, you worthless bastard.
And this time you won't be walking away.
Drop the gun, son.
Chaske, do as he says.
You'll be all right.
He kept Chaske as a slave.
He nearly whipped him to death until I stopped him.
He'll have lots of time to explain his side to the jury.
Hold it right there.
- You're gonna have to come with me.
- Chaske, don't.
- No! Murderer trying to escape.
Hey, Mikey.
It's Richie and Mac.
Your buddies.
Got you something special, Mikey.
It's yours.
Go on.
California Zephyr.
I bought you this too.
All aboard California Zephyr.
Transcontinental service, Chicago to San Francisco.
Come on, Mikey.
You can go now.
Major stops: Kansas City, Denver-- Right on, man.
Salt Lake City and Sacramento.
-That's great.
Thank you.
Okay, bye-bye.
Mac, there's a school upstate called St.
Simons.
They can look after Mikey.
You sure? Well, it's a church-run facility built on holy ground.
I think he'll be safe there until we find something more permanent.
I don't wanna go without you, Richie.
It's in the country, Mikey.
You'll be safe.
No bad men? No bad men.
You coming? We'll come visit.
I'll stay here.
Mikey, have you ever been to a real switching yard? Never been there before.
Well, I think there's one on the way.
We could stop off there.
You guys coming? Yeah, we're coming.
We're coming.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah For the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth Hallelujah, Hallelujah Freight cars.

Simons, we're gonna be going through McMahon Pass.
McMahon Pass? Yeah.
It's where the Coast Starlight comes through on its way to Los Angeles.
Coast Starlight.
Twenty-two tunnels.
That's the one, big guy.
Let's go.
Bad man! Get him out of here.
I'll deal with this.
We'll wait by the car.
Come on, Mikey.
Don't worry about it, Mikey.
You okay? All right, good.
'Cause Mac is going to take care of everything.
Just get in on the other side.
You all right? Okay, big guy.
Nice venue.
Private.
You wanna dance? 'Cause we can go round and round.
Wow, that was exciting.
I think you should give me the guy with the missing hard drive.
And then afterwards, maybe we can go for lunch.
Sorry.
I've already eaten.
That's the car.
It belongs to Duncan MacLeod, the guy who signed him out.
Okay.
Let's do it.
That's him, Dave.
That's the guy.
Down on the ground.
Now! What's going on here? Mikey, get down.
What's this about? Your friend here is wanted for murdering some folks outside of Greenville.
Travel at 170 miles per hour.
Hold it! Stay where you are.
I said stop! Please, don't shoot.
I can handle him.
Mikey, get down.
- Stay down or you're a dead man.
-Mikey, listen to your friend.
On the ground now.
Reaches a top speed of 220 miles per hour.
Spread 'em.
Come on.
Fellas, we can work this out.
Dave, call it in.
Mikey, stop it! Mikey, no! I'm hungry, Richie.
I know.
I know.
Soon as Mac shows up, we're on our way.
It's okay.
Richie! Mac.
Oh, boy, am I glad to see you.
Hi.
Come on.
Let's get Mikey up to St.
Simons before there's any more trouble.
You forgot your coat.
Mikey can't go to St.
Simons.
It wasn't his fault, Mac.
He was scared.
You'd understand if you'd have been there.
I was.
One of the cops is dead.
Mikey broke his neck.
Now they'll never stop looking for him.
Old Dominion makes nine stops.
Washington to Newport News-- Mikey, what happened to the people that were taking care of you? Nine-- Makes nine stops.
Washington, Newport News-- Two stops in-in-- Mikey.
Bad man came, and Alan said, "Quiet.
" Did bad man hurt Alan, Mikey? Helen was making a lot of noise.
What happened to her, Mikey? I did what Alan said.
I always listen to Alan.
I didn't do anything bad.
I made Helen quiet.
I said-- I said, "Get up, Helen.
Get up, Helen.
" It's okay, Mikey.
It's okay.
You can't hide him, and he can't be in a cell forever.
He's Immortal.
What are we supposed to do with him? Mac, I'll do something.
I'll get a place far away.
Mac, please! Alan and Helen tried that.
Damn it, damn it, damn it! There is no place for him.
I'll do it.
No, Mac.
Wait, Mac.
Wait.
I'll do it.
He's my responsibility.
Come on, Mikey.
